North Dakota Information Technology

What North Dakota Information Technology does

North Dakota Information Technology (NDIT) is the central IT agency of the State of North Dakota, delivering enterprise IT services to all executive branch state agencies under a statutory consolidated model. Headquartered in Bismarck with 101-250 employees and a 50+ year operating history, NDIT provides cybersecurity governance, statewide networks, data center hosting, application development, shared platforms (GovDelivery, PrinterLogic, Drupal, GIS, EDMS, Business Intelligence), end-user support, and Technology Business Partner liaisons that operate as embedded consultative sellers to each agency. Services are delivered via a ServiceNow portal and direct agency relationships, funded through state legislative appropriations rather than commercial pricing.

NDIT's portfolio extends beyond conventional IT into statewide infrastructure programs: the $120 million Statewide Interoperable Radio Network (SIRN) supporting 900+ first responder departments across 140 tower sites, the federally approved Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) initiative targeting first-in-nation 100% fiber coverage by 2028, the Vantis unmanned aircraft network (first non-federal entity to access unfiltered FAA radar data), the North Dakota Health Information Network (NDHIN), and citizen-facing platforms ND Gateway and the State Data Hub. The technology stack includes Microsoft 365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Power BI, ServiceNow, and ServiceNow-integrated AI governance — NDIT claims the highest Microsoft Copilot active-use rate among U.S. state government users.

NDIT is a state government department, not a commercial enterprise — there are no private shareholders, no stock listing, no acquisition target, and no conventional revenue line. Funding flows from legislative appropriations, federal grants (BEAD, Capital Projects Fund), and inter-agency cost recovery through BILLIT. The agency is governed by CIO Corey Mock, CISO Chris Gergen, CTO Craig Felchle, Chief Data Officer Kim Weis, and Chief Business Application Officer Evonne Amundson, with CIO Mock holding a seat on the NASCIO Executive Committee.
